Pets

I've just joined another online community which wants me to choose a secret question such as "what was the name of your first pet?"

As a child our first pet was a dog called Peanuts (he was a peanut coloured labrador - hence the extremely clever name).

After Peanuts we had a golden labrador called Andrew. (my mum was pregnant with one of my brothers and wanted to name him Andrew - my dad refused to have a son named Andrew so we got a dog called Andrew and a brother called Cameron).

After Andrew we had a dog called Murray. He was named after Fitzroy Football Club legend Kevin 'bulldog' Murray. (the little girl next door renamed him Murray Dog Malcolm). Murray Dog wasn't a bulldog - he was part spaniel, part terrier, part everything else.

My niece has a dog called Maggie, and my littlest nephews have 2 cats Sodapop & Chili.

My youngest nephew desperately wants a dog and he has suggested that they give the cats away so he can get a dog. (we think when he was asking for a dog someone pointed out that he already had 2 cats so he worked out that if they gave the cats away he could have a dog)
